Publisher Description
Lysa is the mother of Dallas, born October 19, 1997, and Summer, born June 18, 2001. Due to Lysas alleged homelessness and drug use, Dallas and Summer were ordered removed from Lysas care on September 19, 2001. The children were located and removed in October 2001. Both children were initially placed in foster care, but later Dallas was placed in the custody of his natural father, Kevin, and Summer was placed with her maternal aunt, Candy. The children were adjudicated as children in need of assistance in January of 2002. The case permanency plan required Lysa to complete substance abuse treatment, participate in family-centered services, complete a psycho-social evaluation, attend individual therapy and anger management classes, and comply with medication management as directed by her psychiatrist. Lysa has at times been uncooperative with service providers and DHS, but has substantially complied with all of the requirements of the case permanency plan. She has utilized visitation with her children, and the supervisors who have observed her interactions with the children agree that she has a close, loving bond with both children and that her interactions with them have always been appropriate. Lysas psycho-social evaluation produced a diagnosis of obsessive compulsive personality disorder with histrionic personality features.
